I thought you'd wanna know

I'm another ex of yours.

BURN AND ROT IN HELL

I’m sure you remember me- we dated for about six months, and then I exploded and dumped you when you forgot my birthday. I always felt kind of guilty about it; it was one mistake, and I had no right to get mad enough to break up with you over it.

But, after talking to my therapist, he helped me realize it wasn’t just one mistake; sure, you forgetting my birthday was the mistake that tipped me over the edge, but there was a whole lot of buildup to it. You got me a silver bracelet when you know I’ve only ever worn gold, constantly ignored me any time we went out with anyone else, and were generally dismissive of my emotions. When I told you I was insecure about my body, you told me I should cut down on the calories. Now that I think about it, you never once called me beautiful, did you? When I told you I was skipping work because of my period cramps, you told me “I don’t want to hear about that right now. While I respect your struggle, that’s your business.” When I asked you to help me move into my own apartment, you said “you shouldn’t need a man to help you with that. You’re strong on your own!”

You were right about one thing; I am strong on my own. While I can admit I shouldn’t have blown up at you in the way I did, I’m still a kind, beautiful, thoughtful woman, and I deserve better than men who don’t understand that. I dated a lot of people like you, and started settling for less; but talking about you with my therapist after we broke up is what helped me understand I don’t want to date people who don’t respect my needs and emotions anymore. So… thank you, for being in my life.

I hope that you’ve grown up. I hope that someday, you’ll understand that the way you treat people is screwed up. I wish you the best of luck and the most of happiness.

Have a good life,

-Satou

Hey.

Honestly, I can't express how great it is to hear from you. I just want to let you know that I never meant to make you feel like you aren't the beautiful, amazing woman we both know you are. One angry outburst doesn't make you any less perfect to me, and if I ever gave you advice, it was only in the interest of helping you achieve your own goals.

I would never intentionally do something to make you feel unnoticed, or unheard. I always wanted to help you stand up for yourself, and be the strong, self-sufficient person I knew you could be.

I know it's been a long time, but I never stopped thinking about you. And I'm sorry our relationship ended the way it did. Is it embarrassing to admit that I wish it had gone differently? I hope you don't think so. There are a million things I would have done differently if I'd known you were hurting the way you were.
